Both examples have limitations and such so I am looking for any and
all ideas. If you have any suggestions or know of any photos showing
PCB clamping, I sure would appreciate a link to the photos.
It's not "elegant" but it WORKS! It takes up (almost) NO space, does not
interfere in ANY way with the drilling nor quill-stuff, is acceptably cheap,
quick, leaves no non-removeable muss, etc: Scotch double-sided "Poster Tape"
aka "Wall Saver" removeable clear tape. I buy it in cartons!
But you gotta use either waste PCB stock or "Formica" for backing, also held
down to your drilling-machine's surface with GOOD double-stick tape, cause
that won't stick to "Masonite" very well. Relative to PCB stock, scraps of
"Formica" ("Resopal" in other lands, I think?) is very cheap. Find a good
"Kitchen-cabinet shop" and see if they don't just THROW OUT lots of that!
